I use a Benro C4770TN and it is very sturdy. I am not sure you would want to carry it around for landscapes though as it is quite heavy.
I use it with a gimbal head and long lens for wildlife photography.

2.26Kg without head, yep that's pretty meaty! I'm really drawn to it's little brother the 3770 though, I don't need compact with loads of sections to extend and I want good meaty legs. The 3770 is the same weight as my current Slik. How do you find the 'moon lander' feet?

Crikey - do you bring a wheelbarrow with you to cart that lot around?
Presume you're happy with the tripod under the strain?

Yeah it's built to carry much heavier kit (rated for 18kg). This is my walking around lens!
I like the feet- I bought some spikes at the same time but have never used them. I carry a few dinky tent pegs which I can anchor through the holes in the middle of the feet- handy when I want some serious stability or I'm perched on a riverbank.
Overall build quality and functionality is excellent. Though oddly one of the legs is slightly longer than the other 2. Doesn't bother me in the least as the tripod's always on uneven ground and I never use it at full height- but it's strange as the finish and QC is otherwise flawless.

I look in the cupboard -.that is where I put them when I took them off
I never used them - they may be ok but I preferred the standard feet.
